The March 1 Issue: Mobile Applications

"There's an app for that."

It wasn't too long ago that the above phrase was used jokingly to describe how many mobile applications were available on smartphones. Now, it's hard to think of something for which there actually isn't an app.

As smartphones continue to grow in popularity, more and more nonprofits are realizing that they need to make their website more mobile friendly for donors. That's one of the focuses of the March 1 issue of The NonProfit Times, which was just released today. Here's a quick look at some of the main features of the new issue:

Special Report:

There's An App for That: As hinted at above, this special report focuses on the growing popularity of mobile-optimized sites, and how they can be used to increase revenue for organizations via text donations and other fundraising tools.

Results Weren't Invisible: The San Diego, Calif.-based nonprofit behind the viral hit "Kony 2012" might be more well known now for the eccentric behavior of its founder, but Invisible Children bought in an impressive amount of revenue.

The Race for Revenue: Race For the Cure revenue for Susan G. Komen for the
Cure’s largest affiliates declined almost 7 percent last year, while the
charity reported a 9-percent dip in overall revenues.

Columns:

Your 403(b): The
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has modified and expanded its Employee
Plans Compliance Resolution System (EPCRS) with the release of Revenue
Procedure 2013-12. While the new revenue procedure made many changes to
EPCRS, one of the most significant changes was the long-promised
inclusion of expanded corrections for 403(b) plan failures.

Federal Money: When it
comes to applying for federal grants, the most common complaint is the
quick turnaround time. The federal agency releases the Request for
Proposal (RFP) only shortly before the submission deadline and you’re
sent scrambling.
